Here is my planet Mars. Mars is a terrestrial
planet. Mars diameter is 4,827km and it's mass
compared to Earth is .055. Mars is .39 AU away
from the Sun. It takes 58.7 days for Mars to make 1
rotation. In order for Mars to make 1 revolution it takes 88 days. Mars has
2 moons named Phobos and Deimos. Mars is the 4th
planet from the sun. Scientists believe that once there
used to be water on Mars. Mars is also known as the
"Red Planet" because of the reddish and iron-rich
soil.

Here is my planet Jupiter. Jupiter is categorized
in the group of Gas Giants. Jupiters diameter is
142,984km and it's mass compared to Earth is
318. Jupiter is 5.2 AU's away from the Sun. It takes
9.9 hours for Jupiter to make 1 rotation and in order
for Jupiter to make 1 revolution it takes 11.9 years.
Jupiter has 66 mooons that are so far discovered. Jupiter is the 5th planet from
the Sun. Jupiter has a big red spot which is believed
to have biggest and the longest storm ever, they refer to
this spot as the "Great Red Spot". Also, Jupiter has 1 moon which is

This is a Comet. Comets are small icy bodis that orbit the Sun
just like planets. Scientists often describe Comets as "Dirty-Snowballs".
From Earth Comets look like that they are moving slowly or sometimes
it seems like that they aren't moving at all but actually they are moving at a
very fast speed. Some Comets take atleast a thousand years just to orbit the Sun
one time.The "Halley comet" was the most famous comet of all time.

This is a picture of a Nebula. A Nebula is a huge cloud of hydrogen and other gasses in space.
A Nebula consists of very small gasses, dust. rock, and some particles of water. All of these
things collide and heta up there fore with enough heat it gets closer to formng a star. The main
content of a Nebula is Hydrogen which is involved in the making of most planets. Nuclear Fusion
helps this Nebula form into a star and heat up the star so it looks bright in the sky.
